We are a community of funders seeking to build an equitable, impactful, and effective social change ecosystem for San Diego and Imperial Counties.
Catalyst connects and activates funders in San Diego and Imperial Counties to learn, lead, and invest in our region.
We connect members to peers, field experts, and the communities we serve to ensure our funding efforts are informed, relevant, and truly effective.
There’s power in numbers. We coordinate and facilitate collaborative spaces for funders and cross-sector partners to share knowledge, build skills, and identify shared solutions to major issues impacting our region.
We’re raising the bar for transparency in philanthropy. As a central hub for our region’s philanthropic sector, we provide funders with comprehensive data, emerging research, and event learnings to guide smarter giving.
Your mission, our muscle. From grants management to program administration, we provide funders support informed by our equity-driven lens and tailored to specific areas of need.
